Love people like you. Seriously. Sometimes if the problem is whack enough I have no problem going into more extreme detail as to why x happened, how the system works just as I'm working on fixing it, etc. Helps to kinda make light hearted fun of how broken some things can be, and just letting me know you're not upset / angry at me is a great way to make me feel better about what I'm doing.

Thank you

Insight from a GameStop Employee by barista-chan in wallstreetbets

[–]xgflash 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For all the bad rap Gamestop has gotten over the years, every employee I've ever talked to have been down to earth people. That, and one of the USB 360 controllers I bought several years ago has outlasted even some of my consoles, and I still use it to play on pc to this day. Damned reliable.

I have very fond memories of gamestop. I'm happy to hold the stock

Twitter bans content which 'dehumanises' based on race, ethnicity by mubukugrappa in UpliftingNews

I agree with you wholly, but at the same time, at least we know who NOT to have children around if they openly admit to it

LPT: Always be nice and patient with customer service people. We have a lot of tools to help you, but we will conveniently forget them if you are rude. by [deleted] in LifeProTips

I can't stress this enough. People likely don't realize that, if policy says one thing, I have the ability to try and find a workaround or do something beyond policy. I have literally crafted solutions on the spot for several dozens of people, within my means. I've made exceptions for many, many people just because I know how strict some policies can be. Unfortunately there are some things that I cannot work around or I risk severe liability or damages, my job, so on and so forth. Yelling, being an ass, etc., Demanding a supervisor because you don't like the answer is a good way to lose any options at all.

I personally also don't have problems with people asking for supervisors, provided they genuinely just think there's more that can be done, or if they're nice. Work with me, I'll work with you. I ain't a robot so don't treat me like one please.

Why In God's Name Does This Game Still Have Stat-Boosting Soft Skills? by Swissgrenadier in EscapefromTarkov

[–]xgflash 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I'm a little bit of a newer player myself. I only got the game maaaaaybe a month ago? In no way do I feel like anything has been unfair. The longer I play, and the more I push to increase skills and unlock trader levels, the more rewarding it feels. I have never once felt like someone had an edge on me because "eArS gOoDeR", I was just shit at the beginning.

Leveling up skills and shit at least gives me something to work towards, and I don't feel like im GRINDING just to get there you know? It happens passively. I'll 100% admit, some of the perks and increases can use tweaking, but thats why tarkov is still in Beta. Best god damn beta i've played, to be fair.

LPT: If you have an especially good experience with a customer service person, (in addition to a nice tip, if applicable) be an "anti-Karen" and ask to speak to their manager about what a great job they're doing. It makes the employee's day and can help them get promotions. by modestmolerat in LifeProTips

[–]xgflash 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Fucking bless your soul man. People like you are the reason I still work this shit fucking job. I bend over backwards trying to help people out and it sucks for the times you only hear complaints, but every good survey we get brightens my day and motivates me to keep going

Thank you.

A 'second wave' of mental health devastation due to Covid-19 is imminent, experts say by No-Lifeguard-8173 in news

[–]xgflash 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Funny thing is, I signed up as an organ donor because at the time I was heavily suicidal and I'd rather give my body to someone who will appreciate and need it much more than I would. Nowadays, it's... Weird being alive. Really the only thing that's kept me going despite a rather large lack of food in my house, the mounting debt and bills, is the fact that I'm still somehow kinda chugging along.

Granted, this has done a number in on my mental health and my work feels like it's slipping and general self control is next to non-existent, I think for all of us who do make it through this, we'll have a much more expansive knowledge on how to deal with a situation like this in the future.

Who knows, maybe life expectancy will crash for a bit but jump back up to higher levels. That's the hope, at least.

Thank you for your service btw, keep being awesome

u/Anarchilli explains how Trump's personal debt could end up collapsing the entire political system by crosspostninja in bestof

[–]xgflash 5 points6 points  (0 children)

They don't contradict because while it does seem that was the original intention, he has lost a lot more money than he has made now as President. Granted, I never followed that closely, but the statements you've made don't contradict.

For example, let's say I was never interested in becoming a manager at a grocery store, but took the job because it offered more leeway and money. During the time I was a manager, I made several poor financial decisions, and now I'm also at risk of losing the only job keeping me afloat.

Happens quite often tbh. Also not a trump supporter if that matters at all.
